Lecavalier injured — Jaspers / O’Brien called up
Seems Vinny Lecavalier injured his foot during play late in today’s blowout versus Philadelphia… The injury appears to be serious… Of course, the only report I can find is on RDS so take it with a grain of salt…. But the word “fracture” is in there.
I’ll try to find a link to verify the Jaspers / O’Brien call up… O’Brien would definately be needed in light of Daryl Sydor’s injury today and the fact the team could not determine the extent of the injury (non concussion).
Disregard said post.

Lecavalier wounded with a foot
Saturday January 28, 2006 - (RDS.ca) - Vincent Lecavalier, who inflicted a wound with the left foot at the time of the match between Lightning de Tampa Bay and Flyers of Philadelphia, could miss the match by Sunday against Washington.
It was reached by a shooting at the time of a numerical advantage.
It is not the first time that Lecavalier is wounded with this foot. It had arrived first once a few years ago.
Lightning fears a fracture, which could compromise the presence of Lecavalier in Turin in three weeks for the Olympic Games.
Alex here: Whatever the “wound” might be, Vinny’s last shift on the ice ended with 2:30 left in the game. So it is probably not that serious. The two call ups were confirmed in today’s (Sunday) Tribune

[...] The fact this is a “Upper Body Injury” means it’s not in any way associated with the rumored foot fracture from a few weeks back. [...]
